Why I created a blog

Its been many years since I first created this blog. It has remained true to Essbase and related information over those years. Hopefully it has answered questions and given you insight over those years. I will continue to provide my observations and comments on the ever changing world of EPM. Don't be surprised if the scope of the blog changes and brings in other Hyperion topics.

ODTUG News

I received notification that the ODTUG board elections have opened. There are 14 candidates, 5of which are from the Hyperion community all for 4 open positions. Currently, there is no one on the board representing the Hyperion space, so in order to get our voices heard, we need you to vote for 4 of the Hyperion candidates. The 5 Hyperion candidates are:

Eduardo Quiroz

Angela Wilcox

Cameron Lackpour

Tim Tow

Juan Porter

The elections go until Nov 2, 2010. In order to vote you have to be a paid ODTUG member. What you are not a member, well have I got a deal for you. During Open World (Sep 20 –23) individual memberships have been discounted to $99 That is a $76 dollar discount off of the normal rate. (BLOG CORRECTION. I was informed by Edward that you Save $150 on Kscope registration. Even better) Just go to the website ODTUG website and sign up during that time frame. In addition to discounts on the Kscope conference (you basically get your membership fee reimbursed) , ODTUG membership offers you the technical journal, multiple conference opportunities, Webcasts and past presentations. It is well worth the price.

Make sure the Hyperion voice is heard on the board. Vote early and vote often (Ok you can only vote once).
